I found that in one case http://localhost/~seth/reverse?format=xml&lat=49.989675&lon=36.206152&zoom=18&addressdetails=1
nominatim returns street that is far away of specified place. Looking into sources i found that in reverse.php
if ($iMaxRank >= 26)
{
// Street level search is done using placex table
$sSQL = 'select place_id from placex';
$sSQL .= ' WHERE ST_DWithin('.$sPointSQL.', geometry, '.$fSearchDiam.')';
$sSQL .= ' and rank_search >= 26 and rank_search <= '.$iMaxRank;
$sSQL .= ' and (ST_GeometryType(geometry) not in ('ST_Polygon','ST_MultiPolygon') ';
$sSQL .= ' OR ST_DWithin('.$sPointSQL.', ST_Centroid(geometry), '.$fSearchDiam.'))';
$sSQL .= ' and rank_address != 0 and type != 'houses'';
if ($bNamedOnly) $sSQL .= ' and (name is not null or housenumber is not null)';
$sSQL .= ' ORDER BY rank_search desc, ST_distance('.$sPointSQL.', geometry) ASC limit 1';

is using geometry instead of ST_Centroid(geometry). So the last string should be updated to

			$sSQL .= ' ORDER BY rank_search desc, ST_distance('.$sPointSQL.', ST_Centroid(geometry)) ASC limit 1';
